things chatter in the dark down here even the emergency lights wink at each other knowingly what they see this late at night is this where you get off? i came a long long ways it's a long ways from west phonecia far from the interstate i want to stay i want to stay

[[ tell me, mountains and forests oh, your fruits and hills where would I find my jesus where would I find my beloved? he is the lost coin that my care seeks he is the only treasure and finding him is worth much sweet love, glory of my soul, where have you been absent? where can I find your two sovereign suns? you would wish life to end with the penetrating dart that the clarity of your radiance from my sight would be taken because you have enriched me with your divine gifts with your childhood and all you should not leave me so early tell me, divine heaven, if perhaps I have offended you with the sins of the world that have turned into glory that glowing coal, that snowy mount, spewing forth new flames in a vision that will be cited why does he seek him so anxiously? ]]
